Cotswold Marathon Cancelled - No refund...

I don't know if anyone can help with this. I entered Cotswold Marathon an event promoted by Beyond the Limitations. This was due to run on April 7th but was cancelled by the organisers due to low numbers. Despite being told over the phone and e-mail that a refund would be processed I have received nothing. Phone calls and e-mails are now not being responded too.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? The only option I can think of is to take them to the small claims court. It just seems madness that things should come to this.

I've rung the land-line and the mobile and e-mailed them and received nothing. Personally I feel like i've been robbed. I'm going to see how far I can go with getting my money back. If you want to PM me your details i'll keep you updated with how I get on.

A lot depends on how they constituted Beyond the Limitations. If a Limited Company then I think that the liability stops there and if it goes bust then we would just be unpaid creditors. If Beyond the Limitations is legally the same as Norman & Anne Wilson then they are personally liable.

My partner & I have lost £64 due to the cancellation of the Gloucester marathon. Personally, I don't imagine I'll be giving them any more of my money - that would just be risking throwing good money after bad.

If you do a whois.com check on their domain name, it does give an address for them (which I won't post here - RW towers gets funny about that sort of thing ). But have a look if you wish to persue this further, which I think you should by the sounds of things!

Cotswolds and Gloucester were run by the same people I believe both cancelled. Organisers should learn a lesson they cancelled Gloucester due to the weather which was unavoidable however they chose not to refund, is it any wonder Cotswold was cancelled? who would throw good money after bad. Pity as they were both good races last year, but I can't see any more confidence in this outfit now.
